The Facts: Gronkowski, who took the field today without a reworked contract, was asked if he considered holding out: “No. Haven’t come close to considering that. No even one bit. What I can do is keep preparing, keep showing up every day. Keep doing what I got to do.”
Diehards Line:
Despite an offseason of questions and uncertainty, it appears fantasy owners can breathe easy and focus on what Gronkowski brings to the table. And it's significant. Even with notable injury-related absences (he's missed 26 of 96 games over the last six seasons), Gronk still leads all tight ends in receiving yardage and touchdown receptions since 2014. He also sits second among tight ends in fantasy points, and he has four top-5 seasons since 2012. If he's not the first tight end off the board in your draft, don't be shy about cashing in on the value.
